In addition to some candy, my friends’ kids get a container full of colored pencils in their Easter basket. This is a treat I could dig. (Especially after all these cupcakes and ice cream).

I had to look up if chickens said “bock bock” or “cluck cluck” and stumbled again on this list of pronunciations from other parts of [...]
